書屋倚麒麟,不同牛馬路。床頭萬卷書,溪上五龍渡。
井汲冽寒泉,桂花香玉露。茅檐無外物,只見青雲護。
  • 【百官乘月早朝聽殘漏】
建禮儼朝冠,重門耿夜闌。碧空蟾魄度,清禁漏聲殘。
候曉車輿合,凌霜劍佩寒。星河猶皎皎,銀箭尚珊珊。
杳靄祥光起,霏微瑞氣攢。忻逢聖明代,長願接鵷鸞。
  • 【賦得水懷珠】To Endow Water with Bosom Pearl
長川含媚色,波底孕靈珠。素魄生蘋末,圓規照水隅。
淪漣冰彩動,蕩漾瑞光鋪。迥夜星同貫,清秋岸不枯。
江妃思在掌,海客亦忘軀。合浦當還日,恩威信已敷。

我本南山鳳,豈同凡鳥群。

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:

    Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    the raw material of poetry in
    all its rawness and
    that which is on the other hand
    genuine, you are interested in poetry.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
